HELP says: "How do I put tabs back on bottom like they used to be? At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. " This doesn't work in Win XP.

On Win7 this HELP works. But on Win XP there is no Firefox button. Instead there is the menu bar. In TOOLS|OPTIONS there is no checkbox for "Tabs on top". Is there some way to move the tab bar back down where it belongs in Firefox on WinXP?

Thanks, Ted

On WinXP the Firefox button isn't shown by default. It appears when you hide the Menu Bar.

Right-click the Menu Bar and click on Tabs on Top, so the check-mark is gone for that menu item.

Or, you can open View > Toolbars and un-check Tabs on Top.
